Jake clenched his hand in celebration before walking away like a boss.
He didn't even bother looking at Triple M.
This man was a loser.
Before long, Jake entered Casual Clown's room.
Damien and Liza were there. It was a waiting room before the award ceremony. Comfortable sofas were adjacent to the walls, lots of snacks waited on the table to be gobbled, and a huge screen hung across the room.
The couple were in an intimate position.
Damien lay on Liza's thighs as though telling everyone around that those sofas couldn't match his standards.
His girlfriend mellowed so much that she only ruffled his hair while wearing a faint smile.
Jake broke the love bubble.
"Here is my dark horse!" Damien raised his hand and waved at Jake. "Took you so long to come here. Ye chased after Meredith? The draw between love interests is such an art!"
Jake smiled. "We're going on a date today."
Those words drew applause from the couple. As tournament spectators, they heard casters and the audience discussing the tournament's favorites.
Meredith was often on people's tongues. She was a class above others, and fans believed she had a great future in esports! Her chain magic was so unique that she could aim high in this field, if not for the very top.
In addition, she was beautiful and confident. She was an unapproachable type, meant to be admired from afar, a perfect person to become an idol of many.
And here was Joker, who had stolen her heart.
Applause! Applause!
Damien went out of his way to applaud his dark horse.
"Need my black credit card?"
"No, I'll spend my money."
"Good choice."
"We're lucky... too lucky!" Shaw exclaimed
"Luck is a part of the skill!" Rebecca replied.
Justin stared seriously at the tower. He turned on the invisible mantle, an accessory Jake could bring to the tournament! It was now in Justin's hands.
He tested how it worked before turning it off.
"Jake predicted that The Witch would win against Rolling Thunder," Last Coin said. "If everything went according to his plan, she should soon be up in her tower, weakened and exhausted."
Arthur nodded. "If her teammates are here, we'll fight. The best scenario is for Blue Union to be inside, too. We didn't see the kangaroo's couple, so we're in trouble if they remain in their tower."
Shaw clenched his spear. "Doesn't matter! We'll win! We're much stronger! I'm only worried about that lance dude and The Witch!"
Justin swallowed his saliva and shouted, "I'll put us in an invisible mantle when we enter the tower! If there's a battle inside, we will split! I'll run to the seventh floor and wait for The Witch! You deal with the others! If there's no battle, we'll kill them as four! Let's do it!"
"YEAH!" Casual Clowns exclaimed like seasoned warriors.
They entered the tower and were immediately blinded by various skills, hurling back and forth on the first floor. Justin didn't let this affect him, activating the invisible accessory while blinded.
It took Casual Clowns a few seconds to see through others.
"Blue Union! I remember this Hussar!" Arthur said.
Shaw nodded. "He's the real deal. He has summoned his pet, so we must wait at least 5 minutes, right?"
"Yeah, Jake said he should have up to ten minutes cooldown. There's a chance he can keep him summoned for longer, but we can't wait this long," Justin said. "I'll head over to the seventh floor. Take over the invisible zone, Rebecca!"
It sounded like Justin holding onto the invisible necklace was a wrong choice. But if there wasn't any battle going on, it would have been better for him to hold onto that power.
That said, it was a simple trade that didn't really disturb the invisible zone's flow.
These two wielded mana at a high level.
Justin sneaked past others and went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Casual Clowns bid for time.
Shaw grinned since their roles were reversed. In the desert island during The Seventh Division Tournament, it was them chasing others while the enemy team waited.
